I think a large part of what you've seen here is going to be that I've been working on the server doing some upgrades for the past couple of hours, so services have been being restarted a bunch. If you feel like trying again tomorrow, I'd be interested to know if the problem persists during normal server operation. Some better infrastructure is planned once I have some more funds available. :)
